Roast saddle of venison or mutton, spring lamb, or fillet of beef; potatoes and one other vegetable. SIXTH COURSE Entrée, made of light meat or fish. SEVENTH COURSE A vegetable. Mushrooms, cauliflower, asparagus, or artichokes are served. EIGHTH COURSE Punch or cheese course. Punch, when served, always precedes the game course. NINTH COURSE Game, with vegetable salad, usually lettuce or celery; or cheese sticks may be served with the salad, and game omitted. TENTH COURSE Dessert, usually cold. ELEVENTH COURSE Frozen dessert and fancy cakes. Bonbons are passed after this course. TWELFTH COURSE Cracker, cheese, and café noir. Café noir is frequently served in the drawing and smoking rooms after the dinner.

With soup, serve Sherry; with fish, white wine; with game, Claret; with roast and other courses, Champagne. After serving café noir in drawing-room, pass pony of brandy for men, sweet liqueur (Chartreuse, Benedictine, or Parfait d’Amour) for women; then Crême de Menthe for all. After a short time Apollinaris should be passed. White wines should be served cool; Sherry should be as near the temperature of the room in which it is served as possible. Champagne should be served very cold by allowing it to remain in salt and ice at least one-half hour before dinner time. Claret, served without cooling, and as it contains so small amount of alcohol, is not good the day after opening. For a simpler dinner, the third, seventh, eighth, and tenth courses, and the game in the ninth course, may be omitted. For a home dinner, it is always desirable to serve for first course a soup; second course, meat or fish, with potatoes and two other vegetables; third course, a vegetable salad, with French dressing; fourth course, dessert; fifth course, crackers, cheese, and café noir.
